To determine if 368 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 368.
If the factors of 368 are only 368 and 1, then we know that 368 is a prime number. Otherwise, 368 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 368 is only divisible by 1 and 368, then it is a prime number, and if 368 is divisible by more than 368 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 368 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 23, 46, 92, 184, 368
Therefore, since 368 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 368 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 369 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 368 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
